Monica Bishop

Dr. Monica Bishop is an optometrist in the Northern Virginia area. She grew up loving both science and the creative arts. Her childhood dreams were to become a doctor and an author. She received her doctorate from Pennsylvania College of Optometry in May 2000. After her two children began elementary school, she was inspired to achieve her second dream; becoming an author. She has accomplished this goal by writing and illustrating “Lily the Lark: A Day with Lily”. She combines her love of science and writing in this sweet story about a mama lark and her two babies. Dr. Bishop lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and two children.

Lily the Lark: A Day With Lily is a sweet and beautifully illustrated children’s book about a mama lark named Lily and her two baby birds, Pippy and Pete.
